Yep. I understand and respect Vern's point of view. When he created MM ladder jumps where never meant to be.
On the other hand there were/are so many custom mansions with this trick, that with changing this possibility, so much repairs should have been needed. :o
So okay for the two ways. Besides that beginning players may be very surprised in the CMs. Like I was in ToP easy when a jump didn't work.

When the HD builder is released the glowing will be optional.

Haven't found them yet, but now at least I know where to look. Will let you know.
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - miltrump - 11-22-2011
Found the two before the second save. Still missing one.
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - brell - 11-22-2011
Miltrump, look carefully around the rooms to the left of the looong pole.
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - miltrump - 11-23-2011
I found 4 of them to left of the long pole. I think I've jumped into every wall I could find.
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - brell - 11-23-2011
No wall jumping needed

If you get the latest version of the Level Builder (1.2.2) there is an option to turn off shadows and glows for keys and coins, I think on both a per-mansion basis, and individually. I think.

It does not run on Lion however, and you must
exportmansions to the HD format after editing. It adds to the work, but it's still at least possible to edit mansions if you have OS X 10.6 or earlier. See the FAQ (linked elsewhere on the forums) for info on how to export to the HD format.
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - VernJensen - 11-24-2011
Okay I just checked, and you can disable coin glows, key glows, and shadows on a per-room basis, AND for an entire mansion at once.
This is available *now*, using the 1.2.2 version of the level builder linked to above. Brell, feel free to post this link to any other thread you feel is appropriate so more people know about it. I must have forgotten to publicize this?
Re: Tomb of Princes Easy Secrets - VernJensen - 11-24-2011
Oh and also, it would be good for custom mansion designers to use the new abilities in the 1.2.2 editor to fix problems in their mansions with the HD version. (For instance, some bricks that are used to hide things and cast shadows that shouldn't -- shadows should be disabled in these rooms.)
